The most useful tools for iPhone and iPad that can make our life and work easier.

Things 3

New version of the best task manager for personal purposes. It is based on the philosophy of GTD and is designed to handle the flow of incoming tasks and organize work on them as efficiently as possible. Things 3 received a new design, expanded possibilities for grouping tasks for convenient work on projects of various sizes, as well as a lot of options for customizing the application for the user.

Microsoft To-Do

Minimalistic to-do lists from Microsoft, which the company presented as a replacement for the previously purchased Wunderlist. The application has integration with Microsoft products and third-party services, and also allows you to focus on achieving goals using the "My Day" tab, which contains relevant tasks. You can customize lists, various reminder options, and more.

Pod calendar

The unusual Pod calendar is notable for the fact that it takes into account when planning not only events, but also their context. The application shows for each of the events a list of people who take part in it, and also attaches letters and correspondence related to the meeting. You can immediately see the colleagues with whom you will work on the selected day, and you can quickly bring new participants up to date by simply adding them to the event.

Adobe Scan

With Adobe Scan, you can forget about piles of paper documents, turning your smartphone into a handy scanner for quick and easy digitizing of papers. The process takes a matter of seconds, and the files are stored in the cloud and do not take up space. Also, thanks to the integration with Adobe Acrobat, documents can be immediately edited by adding notes and comments.

Lighten

Lighten is ideal for planning complex projects. It allows you to use mind maps, sketching out all the ideas and forming connections between them, and then create goals for the project in the task manager. Choose from a variety of styles, support for Markdown markup, add PDFs, and more.

Dynalist

Dynalist allows you to lay out tasks for any project using lists. With the ability to create endless multi-level lists, tags, support for Markdown and LaTeX markup, the application opens up limitless potential for individual or collaborative work on projects.

Taskful

The Taskful Scheduler helps you maximize your productivity by focusing your attention on the tasks to be done today, and without distracting others. It allows you to break down ambitious tasks into small daily goals, has convenient sorting and built-in statistics for analyzing performance.

Time

The smart Time app is designed to combat the procrastination that kills all our productivity. Combining a time tracker and a task manager, it allows you to set goals and indicate deadlines. And visual timers, motivating statistics and automatic timing of the best time to complete tasks help fight procrastination.

Lyster

Lyster's minimalistic task manager is suitable for those who do not want to sort out little things on the shelves. It is designed for quick basic planning, allows you to add, complete or postpone goals in one move and quickly navigate current affairs.

To Round

To Round also has an unusual approach to time management. The application with an original interface presents tasks in the form of balls filling the screen. For each of them, you can set a color, assign a category and set a period. As you complete the task balls will disappear from the screen, freeing up space for new goals.
